LAN 3 Settings: Virtual LAN (VLAN)

Disable 802.1q: no Tag filter Fallback: if input is tagged, Virtual LAN properties rules will be followed; if input tag is not present in the map or input is untagged, Lan per port rules will be followed Secure: if input is tagged, Virtual LAN properties rules will be followed; if input tag is not present in the map or input is untagged, packets will be dropped

Untagged Frame Egress Mode Tag added to untagged frame if output is tagged Untagged frame in output: Unmodified, Tagged, Untagged
